I can't seem to find much about this company. *Where made?
Reliability?

OK, it took Google .13 seconds to spit out the important information.
Made in China, sold by Walmart. *IOW, garbage. *No schematics or
service manual available. *Likely causes of failures include cheap
caps in the power supply, bad solder job on the circuit boards, and
failing LDO regulators. *

Thank you for your reply. Given made in China, your assertions
regarding reliability are probably correct.
I did the 'google' search. all I got was the company is in
Minneapolis, MN; names of officers;the company salutes "made in
america" products; sells through Walmart; had 32 BBB complaints
against it; and probably went bankrupt July, 2011.
but couldn't find out a single insight into 'reliability'
Regards,
Robert
